The Ultimate Prosperity Page does not advertise a real business opportunity. The ad is a fake, posted by the Federal Trade Commission to raise awareness about the hazard of business opportunity fraud on the Net. No information about you has been transmitted to or collected by the FTC.

DON’T BE A VICTIM OF CYBERFRAUD

  • Be wary of online business opportunity advertisements that make exaggerated earnings claims and ads that offer little product information but lots of glowing promises.   Be especially skeptical of companies that promote the internet's commercial potential more than a specific product or service.

  • Use extreme caution before sending bank account or credit card information online.   If you chose to conduct your transaction online, be sure you do so in a secure environment.

  • Use caution when you send your address and other personal information.  This information is used by scam artists to compile "sucker" lists.

BEFORE YOU INVEST...

  • Get disclosure documents and review them carefully. In most cases, the law requires business opportunity and franchise promoters to give potential buyers detailed information about the business and about company finances.
  • Check to make sure the business opportunity is in compliance with applicable state registration laws.
  • Research the business and the market, and talk to current investors.

Additional information about Franchises and Business Opportunities is available from the Federal Trade Commission.
